5751 - PREGNANCY

The counseling of any pregnant student is primarily a counselor's responsibility.

The counselor, on becoming aware of the condition, should notify the principal, establish a relationship with the student, and function as liaison between the student, the staff, and outside resource people throughout the term of the pregnancy.

A statement from the doctor shall be submitted verifying the condition of pregnancy and indicating any limits to be placed on the student's program. If possible, arrangements for the resumption of education will be worked out when she is required to leave.

Appropriate referral procedures should be offered to the parents and to the girl and, if possible, to the prospective father, if a student of this District.

Upon request of the parents and a statement from the doctor, the girl may be placed in homebound instruction.
